"The work is not delayed and proceeds according to schedule. It is to be completed in July. Now the trials of all the assemblies are underway, including air defense systems deployed on the warship. They are Poliment-Redut complexes," he said.
The trials of the Admiral Gorshkov are complex as it is necessary to check the work of several dozen advanced systems at a time, including radio-electronics, artillery armaments, various shipborne assemblies and air defense systems, the vice-premier said. "Problems arise as to how to arrange the trials so that the test of one system does not impede the test of another complex," Rogozin said. The vice-premier added that he personally supervises the frigate trials as instructed by the Russian president. The Admiral Gorshkov frigate is the lead warship of project 22350. It had its keel laid in early 2006 and was floated in the autumn of 2010. The warship began test trials in November 2014 and their final stage began on March 2017. Project 22350 frigates are designated to fright surface warships and submarines in oceans and seas and to repel air attacks both independently and within formations. It is a flush-deck three-island warship with one mast and one steel funnel. Low signature technologies were used in construction to make the frigate practically invisible for adversary radars. The displacement of project 22350 frigates is close to 4550 tons and the length is 135 meters. The capacity of the diesel gas-turbine power plant is 65000 HP. The armaments include a new 130-mm A-192 artillery gun, antiship, antisubmarine and antiaircraft missiles, including Caliber and Poliment-Redut. The frigate can carry a Ka-27 helicopter or its modifications. © Copyright 2017 TASS. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed. |
